“I wanted to underscore what the gentleman is saying that Mr. Estrada is on 632 days awaiting action by the other body, and yet it is not happening. Now a similar nominee about 3 years ago, and I mean exactly similar, a man named Merrick Garland, who was also Phi Beta Kappa, also editor of the Harvard Law Review, also graduated from Harvard Law School magna cum laude, was a clerk of the U.S. Court of Appeals, a law clerk of the U.S. Supreme Court, everything except this guy was 44. Mr. Estrada is 41. Everything else is similar, and it took him 100 days to get through. And Mr. Estrada comes along, seems like the only difference is he is Hispanic, 632 days.”
